Emulsions frequently encountered in petroleum production, include water-in-oil (W/O)
emulsions, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, and water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions, which …

Nanoemulsions are kinetically stable homogeneous dispersions of immiscible liquids with
droplet sizes in the order of 500 nm. The nano-size droplets are advantageous in enhancing …

With the ever increasing demand for energy to meet the needs of growth in population and
improvement in the living standards in particular in develo** countries, the abundant …

Unconventional petroleum ores have been considered to be an important part of petroleum
resources and an important alternative source of chemicals and energy supply. Extremely …

We review the existing literature on asphaltenes at various types of interfaces: oil–water, air–
water, gas–oil and solid–liquid, with more emphasis on the oil–water interfaces. We address …

Chemical demulsification is the most commonly used demulsification method for the
separation of oil–water emulsions (W/O) in petroleum industry. Previous experiments …

Emulsification plays an important role in enhancing oil recovery. Experiments and field
applications of alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding indicated that the amount of oil …

Despite the broad range of interest and applications, controls on the surface charge of crude
oil in aqueous solution remain poorly understood. The primary data source to understand …

Potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) have been regarded as a competitive alternative for lithium‐
ion batteries, owing to the natural abundance, low cost, and similar rocking‐chair working …

A novel aliphatic alcohol nonionic polyether (MJTJU-2) has been successfully synthesized
by esterification and polymerization. It is found that this new polyether is efficient in fast …
